Click on the “Create Account” link on this page to start actively managing
the use of your emergency beacons. And, by creating an account today you can begin
using the SafeLife Systems Through Satellite Self Test detection service to enhance
the regular beacon Self Tests recommended by beacon manufacturers and SAR authorities.

Self Tests are recommended by most beacon manufacturers at least once per month,
or before major trips, to ensure proper operation. These Self Tests, as described
in your beacon manual, are designed to test the internal circuitry of the beacon
to ensure its proper operation. Almost all 406MHz emergency beacons will transmit
a real signal as part of their Self Test, and if that signal is detected by the
SafeLife Systems ground stations, this site will allow you to view the results of
your single Self Test transmission. For additional details on this service, please
refer to the SERVICES - SafeLife Systems Through Satellite Self Test section of
this web site.

Emergency alerting beacons and the international Cospas-Sarsat satellite system
have contributed to over 20,000 rescues since they were first used in 1982. Emergency
alerting beacons are designed to alert SAR authorities in an emergency, and this
site has been designed to help you manage and maintain your 406MHz beacon for when
you need it most.
